Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States, and is one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the United States. It is generating an enormous amount of controversy within the orthodox medical community, who remain divided over whether Lyme disease can become a chronic disease with reoccurring symptoms or whether patients who complain of reoccurring Lyme-like symptoms are not infected with another type of illness, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Thankfully, the Homeopathic community remains united over the treatment of Lyme disease, mainly due to the different philosophy that homeopaths use to treat disease.
I was going to keep taking antibiotics and following my doctor's advice, but those homeopaths are so much more confident, and they use lots of strange words and medical terms so they must know what they're doing!
Proper case management is the key to treating Lyme disease effectively. Case management is actually much more than just choosing a remedy and sending someone home. It involves first, a careful analysis of the progression of the disease, to treat the symptoms that are present at the time of the initial analysis as well as to help the patient prevent future pathology. This results in every case being individually repertorized and chosen for the particular person and their specific symptoms. In most cases, however, if the person knows that they were bitten by a tick, and they are also showing the telltale circular rash, I tend to first attack the disease with the Borrellia nosode or a nosode culled from the particular tick that the person contacted. After that I will use specific remedies that work best in the earlier stages of the disorder. Some of the Homeopathic Remedies that I have used successfully in my practice are Sepia, Sulphur, Tellurium, Ledum, Syphilynum, Carcinocin, Kalmia, Arnica, Rhod, Bryonia, Gelsemium, Rhus Tx., Arsenicum, Apis, Hypericum, Ruta, Symphytum, Silica, Cimic, Arg. Nit., Mercury, Colch, Pulsatilla, Lac Caninium, and Thuja. I know other Homeopathic Doctors who have had success using other remedies as well. Remember, proper case management uses a “totality of the symptoms” approach for treatment, which can only be accomplished by an experienced practitioner. In the later or chronic stages of Lyme's disease, I would include (along with the appropriate nosode therapy mentioned above) a miasmatic remedy to work through genetic weaknesses, using the health history of the patient as a guide. Then I would follow that remedy with the remedies that fits the person's individual symptoms.
I feel ever so much better now.

And, hey, if they can't cure me, I can always fall back on Imagery!:
Envision the Lyme spirochete, a coiled organism that causes the disease, as looking like a deer tick, a tiny, dark brown bug with a round body and eight legs. See it swimming in your bloodstream, says Elizabeth Ann Barrett, R.N., Ph.D., professor and coordinator of the Center for Nursing Research at Hunter College of the City University of New York in New York City. Now see yourself also swimming in your bloodstream, holding a candle. As you approach the Lyme disease spirochete, point the candle at the organism. Watch it shrivel up from the heat and die. Do this until all of the deer tick spirochetes are dead. Feel yourself recovering from the disease. Dr. Barrett suggests that you do this imagery once a day in the morning, taking as long as you need to complete it.
